A 16-year-old student was criticallyy injured on his way to school Tuesday morning when his car was hit in an intersection a block away from Kentridge High School, according to the Kent Police Department.

According to police, the student was driving west on South 208th Street when he was hit by a car trying to make a left turn onto 208th Street from 120th Place Southeast. The crash caused the student to lose control of his car and hit another vehicle.

A Renton Police Department sergeant drove by the scene of the accident immediately after it happened and alerted the Kent Police Department before performing life-saving efforts on the student.

The student was transported to Harborview Medical Center. The Kent Police Department originally reported the student had died from his injuries. But, officials with the Kent School District say the student is still alive and on life support.

The other drivers involved in the crash, a 49-year-old Kent woman and a 58-year-old Kent woman, were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

An earlier version of this story reported that the student was dead, based on information from the Kent police. School officials, however, say that report is wrong.
